A IhiIh's Terrible EaII.

A Newturg (N. y special says: A
frightful fall of siXty-five feet and
miraculous escape from instant death
occurred here at noon to-day, the vic
Tim being little Annie Barrett, the five
ycar-old daughter of Alfred Barrett,
ianitor of the post-oflice building.
Little Annie, with a still younger
brother, was playing in the hall
at the top of the pOst-oilice build
ing, where the family resides.
From that floor to the basement a
line of stairways descend with a six
foot square welI-hole in the centre.
The stairway is protected by ballusters
two and a half feet high, and, there be-
ing no one present but the childs two
ycm-old brother, it is conjectured she
climbed upon the railing, lost her bal
ance, fell over, and, clearing every
thing in her downward course,
struck on the hard basement floor,
sixty-five feet below. Her fall
was heard and assistance quickly
reached her. When picked mp she was
dazed, but in a short time she was able
to speak. Her injuries consist Of a
broken right thigh and a laceratcd head
and face. Her teeth were driven
through her lips and four Of them
were knocked out One cut on the
head measured three inches. Blood
came from the nostrils in considerable
quantity, but for all this if not inter
nGlly injured she may recover. Her
symptoms are favorable tonight.

Dick Gets In His Work.

A good story is told of the way Elijah
Smith, of New York, president of the
Oregon Navigation company, and
syndicate of railroad managers, including
Mr. Lee, formerly confidential secretary
to Henry Willard, then of the Northern
Pacific, were defeated near the close of
the season by young newspaper man,
j. +. Dickerson of Helena Mont. Dick
erson and others were interested in the
passage of bill granting the right of
way tor constructing coal roads through
the Crow reservation, which would place
Helena nearer and more convenient to
the coal fields. The bill was opposed by
Smith and others, who had a project of
acquiring land grant to road they
proposed to const. uct as feeder TO the
Northern Pacific,
Dickerson got his bill passed and then
the opposition, as last resort, went to
the president and made a strong appeal
for its veto. Dickerson, unaided by any
particular influence here to offset the
power of the Smith syndicate, hit upon
novel and effective way to influence
the president. He sent kilograms to his
friends in the territory detailing the
possible danger of the fatal veto and
asked them to shower in kilograms upon
the president urging him to sign the bill.
Dickerson requested them to name in
their kilograms the fabulous prices being
charged for coal and the urgent necessity
for the road.
In less than four hours telegrams be.
gan coming into the white house from
prominent citizens at Helena. The
majority ofthe telegrams read something
like this: "Coal selling a SO ton and
going up. BY all means sign the bill;n
without the right of way for the new
road to the coal fields we are ruined;'
Persons are freezing to death daily be
cause they are not able to buy fuel
I'VE are in the hands of railroad cor
porations and only the signing of tht
bill will relieve us from abject slavery
and tyranny" The kilograms had the
desired effect, and Dickerson had hi,

returned to New York, not knowing the
source of the influence brought to beal
upon the executive.-N. Y. World.

the 26th inst. Added to the extreme
cold weather, the whole territory has
been covered with snow, ranging from a
foot to two feet deep, except on some
slopes of the foot fills which swept by
the winds, have been kept free from snow.
As result, the live stock interest has
suffered greatly the loss having been
much greater among cattle than among
sheep. This is due to the fact that while
range cattle have no hay or shelter pro-
vided for them, sheep are sheltered in
sheds at night and are generally fed from
hay stacks during the severest weather.
The loss of sheep 80 far in Northern
Montana has resulted chiefly from tlocks
that were scattered by the great wind
storm that prevailed here. Some flock
owners have sustained but trifling losses,
while others have lost heavily. The
opinion of well informed men in this
section is that the losses in the Judith
basin and north to the Teton country
will not exceed 10 10 12 per cent.
1t is impossible to give any correct es-
innate of the loss of cattle. Some cattle
ranges are much more favored than
others, and there arc sections where |
know the loss will not be large; but there
is no Disgusting the fact that the average
loss will be large, yet not as large as
many Montana newspapers and cor.
respondents would have it. The prevail
ent opinion is that this winter will mark
the beginning of a new method of con-
ducting the cattle industry of Montana.
Wealthy cattle owners will divide their
herds and either let them out to men of
small means who will provide sheds and
hay for severe winter weather, or they
will as associations, employ more men
and provide hay at suitable places on the
ranges or in the valleys, where it can be
fed when required Without such pro-
vision the cattle owners are not only
liable to sustain great losses, but are in
danger of losing almost their entire herds

great severity at lehsl III estch uccouo.
This expected change in the method of
handling cattle will tell greatly to the
prosperity of Montana. twill contribute
to its welfare by the employment gilmore
labor in proportion TO the capital invest

money throughout the territory. Many
of the large cattle owners live in Eastern
cities and carry on the business in Mon

cowboys. When the annual beefproduct
is shipped out of the territory the pro-
ceeds never come back to add to its
wealth or to contribute to its improve
ment Montana will always stand at the
front IN its cattle or sheep interests, but
more safeguards must and will be thrown
around both of these industries. Much
of this territory, particularly Northern
Montana, possesses great agricultural
resources and with the advent of rail
roads soon to be built, its farmers can

successfully here than can be lone else

CARlTON'S CASE.


Two weeks ago the CHRONICLE stated
that it had received paper from Cali
fornia accusing Geo. W. Carlton, post
master of Deer Lodg, with murder most
foul Since then we have been reminded
of the fact that we enjoyed the personal
acquaintance of Mr.. Carlton in Olympia.
Washington territory, where he owned q
large hotel. In that place Mr.. Carlton
was generally respected, quiet, unas-
suming gentleman, with large circle Of
friends. The New Northwest, of Deer
Lodge, whose editor we all know to be a
gentleman of the strictest probity, and
who would underno circumstances make
a false statement, has also something to
say regarding the matter which puts an
other light upon the affair. Here is what
he says:
"We yield considerable space this is
sue to matter relating to Postmaster Carl

Ventura Democrat is very grave one,
but it 80 evidently bears the incentive of
malice that its effect is broken thereby
